- US President Joe Biden has announced a promising peace plan for Gaza that could end the tragedy that began in October.
- The plan was devised by Israel but negotiated with the US, Egypt, and Qatar.
- The proposal has been well received internationally and has not initially been rejected by Hamas.
- Three phases are established: immediate ceasefire, release of hostages, and negotiation of the details of the other phases.
- The end result would be the definite cessation of the military offensive, the delivery of humanitarian aid, the return of Israeli hostages, the withdrawal of the Israeli Army and the reconstruction of Gaza.
- Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu denied the proposal of a permanent ceasefire until Hamas is eliminated as a threat.
Conclusion: Though there's risk of failure due to differing interpretations and unreconciled goals, this plan opens a real possibility towards a very necessary ceasefire.
